Nervous and Excited"
Orlando Rep ,rter.


When the Reporter first opened this
matter Charles Ill. Jones sought AN inter
view with Governor Drew in his private
office, and there attempted to pledge
that gentleman to secrecy concerning
the revelations he had made.
The editor of the Reporter, when i'm
jacksonville. before the disclosure was
made public, impaired it to one of Gov.
Bloxhams friends, who at once wrote
to him concerning it. Upon the day that
Gov. Bloxham's denial was received by
this friend. Charles III. Jones, nervous
and excited, walked into Gov. Drew
room with a letter in his hand. and de
clared that somebody had given the
whole thing away for he had
there letter from Gov. Bloxham,
asking show in the HI this thing got
out, which fact, in spite of Gov. Blox-
hams denials, is pretty strong corrobor-
alive evidence of the declaration of
Jones concerning the existence of the
contract.
That Jones has done Just what we
claim herein, can be verified by the affi-
davits of Gov. Drew and senator Mann,
both of whom have expressed u willing
ness To go ON the stand and swear to il.
If called upon.

Rammed by Coal Car.
Philadelphia Times, 9Th.


Mrs. Susan Welsh, young woman not
21 years of age, who lives at No. 1850
Philip street, was seriously injured yes
terday afternoon by a peculiar accident.
The back portion of her residence fronts
ON American street, adjoining large
coal-yard on American street, a few
doors below jefferson.
Shortly before 3 O'Clock an empty coal
car was being backed into the cOal-yard.
As the ear was rounding the curve il
jumped the track and crashed into the
rear of Mrs. Welsh's home. MIR. Welsh
was absent, attending to his daily toll at
the time, and his wife was alone in the
house. She was engaged in sweeping
out the parlor when she was surprised
by sudden shock, and saw the ceiling
ami walls tremble.
She turned and ran towards the door,
but she was besieged by a shower of fall
ing bricks. Several of the missiles
struck her ON the head and shoulders,
rendering her unconscious and intiicting
serious I'M Irries.
Some of the neighbors carried her up
stairs into a bedroom and summoned
medical aid. Her injuries are not be-
lieved to be fatal. a large portion of
the rear wall is completely destroyed.

jacksonville News.


Tie PALATKA NEWS, makes the follow
ing wise and timely observation concern
ing our recent city election:
..All the Jacksonville dailies agree
that votes were bought openly and freely
at the late election in that city, and that
success depended entirely ON the relative
size of the -'bar'ls." How then can the
favored candidate consider himself hon
ored by the choice of his fellow-citl-
zens:" If the poor are for sale, how can
they complain that the rich rule: If
reputable" men may fight the devil
with fire" how long will they continue
reputable? Is it not a moral axiom that
..wicke,lness may not be wrought that
good may follow How is the plea of
the Times Union different from that
made by every detected criminal
There is no moral difference i'm buying
a vote and selling one and the citizens
movement which presented ticket in
many respects confessedly inferior to the
regular Democratic ticket was organized
in certain personal interests and relied
for success upon lighting the devil with
fire"-a veritable battle of devils. Brib-
cry of voters is not a crime against the
suffrage only, il is crime against free
government, public morality AMI civil
cation itself.

A Runaway Train.
Baltimore American.

A singular accident, which has Just
come to light, occurred early last Tues
day morning ON the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad. As the north-bound passen-
ger train, No. 2. was nearing Buchanan,
a station this side of Roanoke, Va, about
) O'Clock, some one noticed that the hose
attached to the air-brakes was leaking.
The train was stopped and the entire
crew left the train for the purpose of re-
pairing the leak. leaving ON board the
passengers, the express messenger, the
postal clerk, and the newsbOy. The
brakeman was sent back to flag freight
that was coming in the rear. The
freight soon made its appearance, and
not having been notified in time to stop
on the heavy downward grade, plunged
into the hindmost car of the passenger
train, which was a Pullman. wrecking
the greater part of it and badly injuring
the rest of the train.
The conclusion was so great that the
Unbelievable of the passenger engine
was thrown wide open, and its train
leaped forward with an impetus of over
a mile - minute. So sudden was the
start that the crew was unable to board
The wildcat train ran at fearful rate
of speed until the steam became exhaust
ed, when it came to a standstill about
fifteen miles from the place of collision.
during the hight the passengers were
thrown about in their seats, and were al
most wild with terror. Apprehending
that some south-bOund train might col
Tide with the runaway after it had
stopped, all the passengers left the cars
and built fires in the field to await the
freight, which they thought would bring
up the crew of their train. After the
lapse of over an hour the train hove in
sight, and the passengers, engineer and
firemen We're soon at their places. The
brakeman, who had been sent back to
flag the freight, no sooner saw that n
collision was inevitable than he struck
for the woods, and has not yet turned
up, Several of the passengers received
severe bruises, but no one was seriously
injured by the collision.
